TypeFaster for Windows

Get faster at typing — free and lightweight

If you spend a lot of time entering text — whether for data entry, schoolwork, or office tasks — learning to touch type can save time and reduce errors. TypeFaster is a small, no-cost program that teaches you to type without looking at the keys. It’s easy on system resources and quick to download and run.

Main advantages and capabilities

• Extremely compact: the installer is about 1.81 MB, so it runs well on older or low-memory machines.
• Designed for classrooms and groups: includes multiple account support, instructor-friendly lesson options, and coach-oriented exercises.
• Guides your hands: the interface highlights which finger should press each key, helping you build correct habits.
• Supports many keyboard layouts: offers 14 different language configurations, including both American and British English.
• Open for integration: the program’s source code is available if you want to embed exercises or adapt it for a website.
• Engaging practice modes: features game-like, three-dimensional lessons to make repetitive drills more enjoyable.

Who should consider it

• People who type frequently and want to increase speed and accuracy.
• Teachers and tutors looking for a simple tool to run lessons and track multiple students.
